Ranking Debate

[GaUSFBull]

Will we hit the top 25 in any poll after this game?  I say no ... our offense, while we didn't do terribly, wasn't impressive enough.  Defense, though, is a solid bend-but-don't-break defense, and I think against BE competition will be dominant. 

Thoughts?

#25

Not even close. No votes to top 25 doesn't happen without a very impressive win and that wasn't one.

Teams shouldn't be ranked for 4 weeks anyway.  I know we do it for TV rankings, but rank or don't, it doesn't mean anything.

I was quite disappointing with our offense only scoring 1 TD. We won the turnover battle 5 - 0 and we only won the game by 3 and they missed what should have been an easy feild goal, not to mention our own 51 yarder. That isn't impressive at all. Our defense was getting torn apart. ND was driving down the field incredibly fast and we only held out because of the turnovers.

I think it will be looked at mostly as ND falling apart but I'm glad our guys kept up the intensity and were able to keep getting turnovers and that the offense was able to put together a TD drive. I know if we get these kind of turnover numbers every game we will have a great season though.

No way. We were not that good on offense

[E.T.]

ND has a good D ... our O didn't make mistakes. We played a good game.

We'll see about tyhe voters ... atleast we got plenty of exposure ...

Who care HOW we played. We went into ND, ranked $16, and Won. We should be ranked #25.

The first half defenses were bend but don't break on both sides of the ball. We had no reason to go crazy and put BJ, an error prone QB, in risky situations. Especially in the second half it was obvious we were being conservative on both sides of the ball.

No ranking this week...#27ish.  Next week we'll crack it, probably.
